We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, and American Express) at NEST Tulum. Please note that we do not accept checks. As a cash-free hotel, payments at our restaurant and during check-out can be made using credit or debit cards, or charges can be applied to your hotel room balance.

SMOKING

Smoking is not permitted on hotel premises. A designated smoking area is available in front of the hotel.

Safety is not a concern in Tulum. The area is under constant surveillance by local police and private security companies. Feel free to walk on the streets or the beach at night without worry. Additionally, our on-site security guards are vigilant in ensuring the safety of both the hotel and our guests. Taxis are readily available and safe to hail on the street.

MINDFULNESS

At NEST Tulum, we are committed to maintaining an environmentally friendly property and appreciate our guests' mindfulness toward flora, fauna, and natural resources. To contribute to this effort, we kindly ask you to dispose of toilet paper in the provided trash cans. Additionally, please be mindful of energy usage by turning off lights when not needed. While our A/C is available 24/7, we recommend using it from 6:00 pm to 9:00 am to support energy conservation.

BEACH & SEAWEED

Sargasso seaweeds are a natural occurrence that can affect our Mexican Caribbean beaches, including Tulum. The blooming, migration, and presence of sargasso are unpredictable, making it challenging to anticipate its levels on any given day.

To ensure our guests can enjoy pristine beaches, we have a dedicated team working daily to remove and dispose of seaweed from the beach strand. However, during periods of high sargasso arrivals, we invite our guests to enjoy Tulum Beach's largest pool at our Jungle side.

Beyond the beaches, Tulum offers a wealth of experiences, including exploring Cenotes, ancient Mayan ruins in Tulum, Coba, and Chichen Itza, cave exploration, and swimming with whale sharks. The growing foodie scene boasts acclaimed restaurants like Hartwood, Arca, Wild, and NÜ. Even after two weeks in Tulum, you'll find there's much more to discover.

We are actively participating in a coast-wide initiative to address increasing seaweed growth. Our involvement in meetings with academics, the government, and the private sector aims to find durable solutions, including sea recollection and offshore nets to contain seaweed before it reaches the beaches. Join us in supporting this initiative for the long-term benefit of our beautiful coast.
